book crossing

i first heard about bookcrossing.com while reading the latest issue of the utne reader. then, last saturday (sunday?) the l.a. times had an article about it as well. today, i looked up the web site and now i'm wondering which one of these puppies that faithfully line my bookshelves am i going to set free. it was fun to look up where i live to see what books have already been set free (sadly, most of them were danielle steel novels). i'm thinking barrel fever by david sedaris, as i have two copies. or maybe an old calvin and hobbes collection. it would be good to leave something that would make someone chuckle.

carsten (if you are still checking in) i think you should do this in berlin. and nigel, you should do it in england. my stupid exbf could do it in edinburgh, but we aren't speaking and that is really starting to piss me off. but it would be cool if he did it too as he does have pretty good taste in reading material.
